C1 The Painting

Xiao Zhan went on a week's vacation to rest for a while after spending many months of nonstop work in their company. He thought that he needed some time to rest, anyway he was the boss and he was getting old so he needed to relax.

After some time of thinking, Xiao Zhan decided to spend his vacation on the Island beach resort in the country. It was named Tianya Haijiao (Heaven's Edge Sea's Corner) in Sanya, on South China's Hainan Island, one of the most romantic and picturesque beaches in China. It was considered to be the southernmost tip of China. A must-see attraction for new Chinese couples because of old Chinese literature saying: "I will follow you to Tianya Haijiao", which means the couple will be together forever.

However, Xiao Zhan did not bring his girlfriend because he wanted to relax alone. Instead, he brought some of his canvas for painting so that he could pursue his passion for arts. Since he works in the company, he doesn't have too much time to even paint a single portrait. Therefore, now was the best time to do it, especially with the very beautiful scenery of the ocean.

It was a windy and sunny afternoon, Xiao Zhan set up his things for painting facing the vast ocean. In front there was a chair for him to sit. He wore a white undershirt with a light blue top polo shirt and blue pants. Then he began to draw the painting he called "My Ideal Life" because he portrayed his emotions and dream to be in the future in that painting.

Xiao Zhan drew the beautiful ocean with himself standing in front of the sea, watching the calmness of the water while wandering what's on the other side of the endless horizon. Beside him sat his cat pet Jiangu. And he painted a boat floating in the ocean not far away, also the bicycle he was using that day seated in the seashore. But it turns out that his painting was lacking something he could not figure out.

With that, Xiao Zhan sat on the sand to think what was missing in his painting.

At the other side of the beach...

There was a man surfing on the water, Wang Yibo was his name.

Wang Yibo was a rich young businessman that was invited by the owner of the beach resort for a week. Because he was very fond of challenges, even though he was a businessman, surfing caught his attention so he asked some surfers to learn how to play the thing. After two days of practice, he was able to surf alone.

Indeed he was great and talented!

While sitting on the sand, Xiao Zhan's attention was caught by the man surfing alone on the other side of the beach. Because it was far, he could not figure out what he looked like. Whether he was young, old, or whatever but he was certain that the man was tall and well built also with a white complexion. He found it cute and interesting.

Because of curiosity, Xiao Zhan took his DSLR camera beside his painting tool and took a closer look at the man surfing at the other side. Now he was able to see his face, and he was quite handsome. For unknown reason, Xiao Zhan could not take away his gaze from the guy and he actually took a short video of him while surfing.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan thought of something, then he stood up and went to his canvas, continued his painting and puff! He was very satisfied.

But what's so ridiculous was that Xiao Zhan painted the surfing man on his painting! He also added the word "KING" [王 - Wang in Chinese version] in the water.

Wasn't it ridiculous and strange??

“Perfect!”

But Xiao Zhan was really satisfied. He doesn't know who the person he painted but the painting looks perfect after adding the unknown man in it.

After moments of finishing touches, he left the seashore and went to the beach resort's hotel where he rented a room
